Sometimes, the payoff on a multi-step recipe is the leftovers. If you make a syrup for a cocktail, for example, you’ll likely have some left over–throw 1 Tbsp. into a cup of club soda and you’ve got a healthier (and homemade) soft drink. As for this recipe, it makes extra horseradish mayo. You could put that mayo out so your guests can spread more onto their sandwiches should they want to. But you could also cover it and put it in the fridge for yourself. We’re thinking tomorrow night is roast beef sandwich night.
